Cats are not like dogs. Many cats do not need too much attention from their owners, which may be one of the reasons why more and more people raise cats as pets. However, this also leads to when there is a problem with the cat's health, if the signs are not obvious, we often ignore them. Anemia in cats is such a disease that is easily overlooked by their owners. Next, let’s analyze the causes of cat anemia and learn about it together.
Cat anemia can cause cats to experience a series of phenomena such as weight loss and weakness, and there are many causes of cat anemia, such as nutritional anemia caused by long-term nutritional deficiency; hemorrhagic anemia caused by excessive traumatic blood loss and infectious diseases, and hemolytic anemia caused by parasite protozoa. For anemia caused by different reasons, symptomatic measures are also needed to prevent the cats from becoming more and more serious and even threatening their lives and health.
Causes of anemia in cats:
1. Nutritional anemia in cats refers to anemia caused by a long-term lack of protein or iron, copper, diamonds, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid. For anemia caused by this reason, changes should be made in feeding. First of all, do not feed only a single cat food for a long time. You need to feed meat and fruits and vegetables. Meat can be appropriately fed with some chicken liver and duck liver, but do not feed too much. In addition, feed some beef and fish. Vegetable fruits and vegetables, you can feed carrot puree and apple puree to supplement vitamins and folic acid, and then mix blood cream in the food to feed the cat.
2. Hemorrhagic anemia
Hemorrhagic anemia in cats is caused by injury, such as trauma, or rupture of internal organs (such as liver and spleen), or vascular damage caused by surgery. Is this anaemia a complication? Or should the cat be treated in time and take the cat to the pet hospital for examination, and do not delay. After the cat's condition is treated, you can feed nutritious foods during daily feeding, and then mix blood ointment into the cat's food for feeding.
3. Hemolytic anemia
Hemolytic anemia is generally caused by hemolytic toxins produced by pathogens of certain infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, etc., which destroys the red blood cell membrane. For this infectious disease, you should take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time. If it is caused by parasites, you need to take the cat to deworm it, and do not delay. After the cat's condition stabilizes, adjust its diet. During daily feeding, you can mix blood ointment in food to feed the cat.
